The Utility Functions
Keyboard
■
Transpose
.........................................................................................................
The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the
entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum
of two octaves (from –24 through 0 to +24). “Transposing” the pitch
of the Clavinova keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key
signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to
the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
Use the data dial or [+]/[–] buttons to set the desired degree of
transposition.
■
Octave Shift
......................................................................................................
This function includes three parameters which determine whether
the left-hand voice in a split keyboard setup (LEFT), the 2nd voice
in the dual mode (2ND), and the right-hand or main voice (RIGHT/
1) will be shifted up or down one octave.
Press the
LEFT
,
2ND
, or
RIGHT/1
LCD button as many times
as necessary to set as required:
–1
Corresponding voice shifted down one octave.
0
No shift. (Default for the RIGHT/1 and 2nd voices.)
+1
Corresponding voice shifted up one octave. (Default for the
LEFT voice.)
■
Touch Sensitivity
......................................................................................
The Clavinova can be set to one of five different types of key-
board touch sensitivity to match different playing styles and prefer-
ences. Press the
KEY TOUCH
button as many times as necessary to
select the desired touch response setting.
SOFT 2
Allows maximum loudness to be produced with very light
key pressure.
SOFT 1
Not as sensitive as the “SOFT 2” setting, but maximum
loudness can still be easily produced with relatively light
key pressure.
NORMAL
Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. (Default.)
HARD 1
Requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce
maximum loudness.
HARD 2
Requires the keys to be played very hard to produce maxi-
mum loudness.
• The Touch Sensitivity setting is retained in
memory even when the power is turned off if
the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param-
eter is turned on (page 107), otherwise the
NORMAL setting is automatically selected
whenever the POWER switch is turned on.
• Press the [–] and [+] buttons simultaneously
to restore normal keyboard pitch (“0”).
• The Transpose setting is retained in memory
even when the power is turned off if the
BACKUP page VOICE SETTING parameter
is turned on (page 107), otherwise the
Transpose is always set to “0” when the
power is turned on.
• The transpose function does not affect the
Drum Kit voices.
• Notes below and above the original 88-key
range of the Clavinova sound one octave
higher and lower, respectively.
• The Octave Shift setting is retained in
memory even when the power is turned off if
the BACKUP page VOICE SETTING param-
eter is turned on (page 107).
• Notes below and above the original 88-key
range of the Clavinova sound one octave
higher and lower, respectively.
• In the normal play mode (i.e. single voice
mode) only the RIGHT/1 setting is effective.
